TLDR : Answer Summary
The discussion centers around whether a police clearance is required for obtaining a NON-B single entry visa (not for teaching) in locations such as Savannakhet, Vientiane, or Penang. Responses indicate that while it's better to have a document like a police clearance just in case, it is generally not required in Savannakhet and Penang for this type of visa.
